I'm a violinist, shamisen player and vocalist from Australia living in Berlin. I love creating intricate string arrangements for my own music and others - violin is my primary instrument and although I'm trained in classical and jazz, my violin playing covers loads of other styles and I'm always curious to learn new things. I have been playing shamisen (Japanese lute) for 6 years now and perform regularly with my all-female shamisen trio Mitsune. As a vocalist, I sing topline as well as BV, and have dabbled in VO work (cartoon voice acting, audiobooks, ads etc). You can check out some examples of my recording work at https://www.remotestudiomusicians.com/youka-snell. Nice to meet you!
